Latest version of Admixture http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/software/admixture/download.html
ADMIXTURE is a computer software program that once calibrated by a knowledgeable tutor, is used to estimate an individual's ancestral composition by analyzing the allele frequencies from autosomal SNP data.
The ADMIXTURE program is used to estimate the number of underlying populations through a process of cross-correlation experiments. To do this, individuals of known ancestry are exploited to yield more precise ancestry estimates.
Once ancestral components have been uncovered, small admixture coefficients are eradicated for each individual, encouraging model parsimony and often yielding more interpretable results for small data-sets or data-sets with dissimilar populations.

ADMIXTURE is currently the platform used by most hobbyists and amateur population geneticists.
